Rick Santorum: 'Love and accept' Bruce Jenner (If he says he's a woman, then he's a woman)
CNN ^ | May 3, 2015 | Alexandra Jaffe

Former Pennsylvania Sen. Rick Santorum is clarifying — but not stepping back from — surprising comments this weekend in support of former Olympian Bruce Jenner's decision to come out as a transgender woman.

"If he says he's a woman, then he's a woman," Santorum told BuzzFeed during a roundtable discussion in South Carolina on Saturday.

Santorum continued: "My responsibility as a human being is to love and accept everybody. Not to criticize people for who they are."

I’m going to the home entertainment section of Target, declare myself a chimpanzee, and start throwing handfuls of my own sh-t at the Blu-rays.

What if Bruce Jenner says he is God?

We have a Democrat who calls himself a Republican in John Kasich.

“Gays often say that God made them the way they are, and he doesn’t make mistakes. So how will the LBGT crowd play this angle? Does God make mistakes or not?”

This is a corollary of the old workplace saying: If you get two contradictory orders, obey them both.

This is simple, for the ones who say they were made that way, they were. For the one’s who say God made a mistake, He (She, It) did. Neither of these cohorts believes in God anyway.

He’s a man in denial of anatomy, genetics, and DNA.

I used to think Santorum was a social conservative.

"If he says he's a woman, then he's a woman ... and it's your responsibility as a human being is to love and accept everybody ... not to criticize people for who they are!"

Wrong, wrong, wrong. I have NO responsibility to "love and accept" anyone. That is MY CHOICE according to MY values. Personally, I love my little doggie more than humans other than my wife and children. At my age, I know what to love and what not to.

I've long lost patience with my fellow Americans. If there is a God, please take me soon 'cause I just can't bear to watch the most brilliant experiment in liberty devolve into such an amoral abyss.

Last time I want camping, there was this frog sitting on the window ledge in the shower room. Kind of unnerving when it croaked.

We all have sin natures and have have inclinations for certain behaviors. One particular inclination might be a same sex attraction.

No temptation has overtaken you except what is common to mankind. And God is faithful; he will not let you be tempted beyond what you can bear. But when you are tempted, he will also provide a way out so that you can endure it. - 1 Cor. 10:13

Good frickin’ grief. Meanwhile in China they tested a nuke. YET the media is distracting the masses with this cr6p.

Jenner is a man. always will be. He even still has his manhood. So he cannot even fake being a woman until he has it made into a female part.

Good grief, we either believe God’s word or we don’t. God tells us these things are satanic deceptions.

Setting aside theological beliefs for a moment. Homosexuality is against natural order. Attempting to alter ones gender is a perversion of the natural order.

[With biologically rare exceptions, humans are either XY or XX chromosomed. If it is ever medically established that Bruce Jenner is one of these genetic exceptions, then the discussion is over.

Otherwise, Rick Santorum has seriously jumped the shark.]

Yep, it’s biology. Why do liberals hate science?

The world has gone stark raving nuts.
